Although The Straightedge Superstar’s tutorial was cut short on SmackDown, he was victorious when it mattered most with Punk winning in tag team action on ECW against ECW Champion Christian & R-Truth.

The Second City Saint was not very saintly this week, stealing a victory from R-Truth with his feet on the ropes as the referee counted the 1-2-3. That must be some nice redemption after what happened last week.

The Straightedge Superstar should’ve never picked a fight with a referee. He learned this the hard way on Friday’s SmackDown when he lost a match to R-Truth, thanks to a fast count from Scott Armstrong.

Despite being victorious on SmackDown against Scott Armstrong, a win against a referee doesn’t even come close to what it means to lose a World Heavyweight Championship Match.

Although he was able to pick up a victory against Batista on Friday night, Punk was unable to retain his World Heavyweight Championship against Undertaker within Satan’s Structure at Hell in a Cell.
Bragging Rights Match Preview
World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker vs. CM Punk vs. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio (Fatal-4-Way Match)
At WWE Bragging Rights, new World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker will defend his title in a Fatal-4-Way Match against three former Word Champions: CM Punk, Rey Mysterio and Batista.
The Deadman defeated CM Punk inside The Devil’s Playground at Hell in a Cell to win his seventh World Title. Five days later, The Straightedge Superstar stormed his way into Friday night, demanding that SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long give him his mandatory rematch on his terms. But before the issue could be resolved, Mr. McMahon emerged to “help” Long make “his” monumental announcement – the former Straightedge Champion’s rematch would be a Fatal-4-Way at WWE Bragging Rights, and it would also include The Master of the 619 and The Animal.
With his most recent acquisition of the gold, The Phenom has arguably transcended other SmackDown Superstars to reach a level of competition all his own. The Undertaker’s reputation has become as intimidating as his deadly arsenal of weapons. And now that he holds the World Title as his “holy grail,” is it conceivable that any Superstar will ever overcome his wrath?

With his team losing to Undertaker’s team on SmackDown, the World Heavyweight Champion lost the top spot this week. We think he has much more to worry about with The Deadman coming for his gold.
